Pittsburgh Construction Accident Lawyers
A construction injury can raise workers’ compensation questions and, when another business or person contributed to the incident, a separate injury claim. We review the worksite, the relationships among contractors, and the evidence before advising on the available paths.
Help for Pittsburgh and Allegheny County
On a Pittsburgh jobsite, several trades may work in a tight space or at different elevations. The site layout, contractor responsibilities, equipment condition, and timing of the incident can determine what evidence to preserve.

Pittsburgh Construction Accident Lawyers: What We Review
What happened at the worksite?
Falls from ladders or scaffolds, struck-by incidents, equipment failures, trench accidents, electrical injuries, and unsafe site conditions can have different causes. Identifying the task, equipment, employer, and other contractors is an important first step.
Workers’ compensation and third parties
Workers’ compensation may cover medical treatment and part of lost wages for an eligible employee regardless of fault. A separate claim against a negligent third party may be possible in some cases. The facts and the identity of each responsible business matter.
Evidence that can disappear
Photographs of the scene and equipment, incident reports, witness names, safety records, subcontractor information, and medical documentation can help reconstruct what happened. Keep copies of what you have and seek medical care promptly.
